All the ghosts of this town can scream
I can walk past your house
And all the house lights are up
Oh, but baby, the soul is gone
I can't walk down these streets tonight
I can stop on that wooden bridge
Just to blow through this town
one more time with its sad refrain
You can hear it blow through the still air
Of a town come to it's end
Someone else is gone again
I can walk down these streets tonight
Where you stood on the curb
And you robed and you cursed my name
I was already packed and alone,
As I begged you one last time
You cursed me again as you said you knew
how the years would prove me wrong
But I can walk down these streets tonight
No, I don't need to see you,
I've seen our old friends
Still watching the traffic
never knew there was some place to go
Oh, but they scattered like trout
at the first sign of my shadow
And I can walk down these streets tonight
Even though I swore my love to you
once back when I was a kid
and you harmed me down to the bone
But I can walk these streets tonight
and it never felt so good to be alone
I can walk down these streets tonight
